Luna is a special soul that is a loving and wonderful companion. This sweet, loving girl is 2 years old Weimaraner/Staffordshire terrier mix and even more beautiful in person. Luna loves walks, is a bit of a wiggle-butt when she meets a new dog or person. She is fully house trained, loves watching tv and napping on the couch. Luna is a very curious gal with a heart of gold. She is currently being fostered in Brewster County and is spayed and vaccinated. For more information or to meet Luna, please email heatherthemule@gmail.com.

Friday, July 19, 2019 at 7 PM – 9:30 PM at the Crowley Theater, Ballroom Marfa and the Marfa Book Company present a screening of the documentary The River and the Wall, followed by a Q&A with executive producer producer, and associate producer. The film follows five friends on an immersive adventure through the unknown wilds of the Texas borderlands as they travel 1,200 miles from El Paso to the Gulf of Mexico on horses, mountain bikes, and canoes. Conservation filmmaker Ben Masters realizes the urgency of documenting the last remaining wilderness in Texas as the threat of new border wall construction looms ahead. Masters recruits NatGeo Explorer Filipe DeAndrade, ornithologist Heather Mackey, river guide Austin Alvarado, and conservationist Jay Kleberg to join him on the two-and-a-half-month journey down 1,200 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. They set out to document the borderlands and explore the potential impacts of a wall on the natural environment, but as the wilderness gives way to the more populated and heavily trafficked Lower Rio Grande Valley, they come face-to-face with the human side of the immigration debate and enter uncharted emotional waters.
